Abstract
This study elucidates the relationship between the dissolution of pulp components and the development of fiber bonding properties in alkaline peroxide bleaching of aspen mechanical pulp. In general, bleaching reactions cause the removal of pulp substances from the fibers, which in turn improves pulp strength properties. Nonetheless, alkaline hydrolysis is particularly important to the development of strength because this reaction mechanism plays a key role in imparting additional carboxylic acid groups onto the fibers. The strong correlation between fiber carboxylic acid group concentration and the amount of anionic dissolved substances makes it possible for us to predict the strength properties of bleached pulps by estimating the anionicity of bleaching filtrates using analytical methods such as cationic demand. The paper also provides insights into the importance of the alkalinity in peroxide bleaching to the dissolution of pulp materials and the strength development.
